Have you heard the insanity involving legendary DJ Casey Kasem? Apparently he is missing (something going on between his kids and current wife). Casey is 82 years old and suffering from advanced Parkinson's disease, he can no longer speak, and the kids believe he's on an Indian reservation in Washington state. What? Casey Kasem might be in Puyallup??

I saw a hilarious movie while we were on vacation…it’s called Ride Along…look, I don’t even need to go to Rotten Tomatoes to read that it’s not “fresh”, blah blah…”Stevie Tomatoes” is telling you that it’s funny! It stars Kevin Hart and Ice Cube…it’s On Demand on XFINITY now…check it out!

Over the weekend I got to jump behind the drums with my friends in The Guessing Game. They had their big CD release show at the Sunset Tavern in Ballard, for their CD “Holy Crow” (it’s an awesome, awesome CD)…and I got to jump up on the drums and we covered The Ramones “I Believe In Miracles”…thanks to Thee Ted Smith for taking this pic…

Shawn Smith opened up the night, if you don’t know Shawn…he is one of the best vocalists in the Northwest…he’s the frontman of one of my favorite bands, Brad, and he performed solo…and there was a cool moment during his set. He covered Mother Love Bone’s “Crown Of Thorns” … how cool is this, watching him perform it at the show was former lead guitarist of MLB, Bruce Fairweather, and the person that filmed this was Andy Wood’s (the late singer of Mother Love Bone) girlfriend Xana. Some great vibes going on as he changed up the MLB classic, I really dug his version:
